Psalms 72:12-19

¹²For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

¹³He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.

¹⁴He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.

¹⁵May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.

¹⁶May there be wide-stretching fields of grain in the land, shaking on the top of the mountains, full of fruit like Lebanon: may its stems be unnumbered like the grass of the earth.

¹⁷May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.

¹⁸Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.

¹⁹Praise to the glory of his noble name for ever; let all the earth be full of his glory. So be it, So be it.
